Harbinger and Juggernaut - What weapons to use?

[Izanagi]

Slow, fast, sharp, blunt? For these two classes, should I run swords, axes or clubs, or just whatever's the best I have at the moment?

Thanks.

I try to mix things up a bit when I play different classes rather than always playing what may be the "best" way. If I have defense, like with your juggernaut, I'm going to always use a shield. I'll pair that with either sword, axe, or blunt. If you want to stick with axe or blunt, you can put points in concussive blow.

For harbinger I have my main weapon set as dual-wield swords and try to push attack speed and life-leach. For secondary weapon set I use sword and shield for tougher fights where I can't kill fast enough and end up taking damage too fast unless I can switch for some more defense.

I don't use a spear or bow as my main weapon I'm building around unless I have hunting as one of my masteries.

For my Harbinger I'm trying to get fast enough attack speed without sacrificing damage too much; at first I started with swords, after maxing Weapon Training I switched to axes, once I get Temporal Flux as well as some more attack speed on more pieces of equipment I'll probably use maces for maximum damage. My end goal is dual wielding Iris with Conqueror's Bracers, Phobos, or any bracers with high attack speed (at least they all drop at the same place...).

For Harbinger, like many others, MI farming is the way to go if you want to max it. Folg + Phonoi can be dual wielded at capped speed without sacrificing much, and the socketed Archimedes' will make the dual Iris setup pale in comparison. Even 2 Folgs are possible but you need to get leech somewhere else that way.

Well obviously, good MI will outclass most, if not all, Legendaries, but good luck trying to get two Folgs with BiS afixes. And they're ugly anyway.
Also, you probably were thinking of something other than Archimedes?

The good thing with the stuff I was planning to use is that they either drop all in the Secret Passage, or can be bought at merchants, making farming a lot easier.

after playing juggernaut for a bit myself, onager is probably the best weapon to get.
the massive energy regen bonus allows you to use -80% recharge volcanic orb as a LMB attack without running out of mana constantly.
